About this deal

That doesn’t explain all of the time, but I like to defend myself by saying it’s not like we had a lot of pages in the can when the book was announced. Coming just in time for Wonder Woman’s 80th anniversary since her comic book debut, the DC Black Label limited series continues to expand the mythos of DC’s most iconic princess warrior.

Intended for a more mature readership, the imprint has a reputation of diving into the deep end, sometimes depicting a darker world than fans might expect from their favorite characters. For her part, Scott has hinted that three additional installments of Wonder Woman Historia, with nine installments planned in all based on how strong sales are. Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick, each installment of the three-issue miniseries is illustrated by a different superstar artist, with Phil Jimenez kicking things off, Gene Ha bringing the middle chapter to life, and Nicola Scott closing out the initial leg of this epic tale.Right from the opening issue of Historia, it’s clear that this is unlike any Wonder Woman story that came before it, with DeConnick and Jimenez drawing heavily from Greco-Roman mythology and the classic art of the era. So, the idea that a society of women would be more communal makes a lot of assumptions about women that are sort of essentialist, and really discounts how much of the way women are has to do with what women are asked or forced to do culturally. One thing I do like to stress is that when the book was announced, not a page had been written, not a page had been drawn. To prepare us for this reframed classic that uses the past to reveal our present, we spent an afternoon with Phil and Kelly Sue to discuss Historia in the making. Starting out as a columnist for the Image Comics preview magazine Image+, Sam also translated the Eisner Award nominated-Beowulf for the publisher.

Gamer Network Limited, Gateway House, 28 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DN, United Kingdom, registered under company number 03882481. Timothy also filled in as an editor for the comics section and core features pertaining to film and TV. This is really embarrassing, but I really love The Great Courses Plus, which is a series of actual professors giving you their actual lectures, only they’re standing on a very awkward soundstage looking at cameras when they’re told to.If you’re expecting a showcase of awe-inspiring art worthy of the gods themselves, you’re well in luck. And the reason that first page has no images is because we wanted to begin with the idea of tabula rasa. And the idea of warriors existing to protect peace transcends gender and is just a historical notion. Hopefully, the creative team will get the chance to complete their overarching tale because, as it stands, Wonder Woman Historia is one of the most impressive Wonder Woman stories told in recent memory.
